Vitex ** A Note From Barbara Lucks

[Guest guest]

> THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, BUTCH.

 

You are quite welcome .. and I decided to move your post up from the

bottom to the top because regardless of what some folks think .. bottom

posting is not always the best way.

 

> I rest my case.

 

Glad to hear that. ;-p

Are you not now trying to sell something? Are you not trying to tell

these people what they should pay close attention to .. and do you not

think that you are .. with this writing .. trying to prove something?

If that statement .. in a vacuum .. is all they should pay attention to

from all the posts I sent .. then so be it. But I think its not.

Yes there is Anya .. and many of the words on that site are my own. But

I have never believed that it was totally with prejudice toward some

folks even if those folks are wrong or right. Oh yea .. another of my

2004 resolutions .. nobody will hear from me a damn thing except what I

truly believe.

OK.

> This post makes all the skimming worthwhile.

 

I hope others .. others who had not already made up their minds prior to

reading the material .. do more than scroll through.

 

> PS did that webpage ever go up in June?

 

Not that I am aware of. Butch
